He’s probably the only one that can do this. It’s nice to be such a vital cog in the machine, but it often leads to other cogs slacking and then you get burned out.
Replacing the artists, writers and journalists instead, so that they can be put to work in the factories and fields! (Never mind that automating manual labour jobs like this would be more cost effective both short and long term, with the added bonus that countless people would be free to live their lives as they saw fit instead of having no choice but to take any work that pays.)
"Not if you want to be able to afford those products in the store" Says the guy that puts billions of dollars of the profits in the store in his own pockets instead of giving this guy a raise
I mean, I'm pretty sure a conveyor belt could do that for less money. So technically speaking, in terms of growth, giving this guy a raise vs investing in a moving belt, the belt is more cost effective and therefore giving this guy a raise will result in long term profit loss. In this Ted Talks, I will explain why all humans are useless and all jobs should be taken by conveyor belts.
Because it's a technical term. Skilled labor means someone with advanced technical training or knowledge. It almost always requires loads of investment to produce a skilled laborer, typically in education. This picker's labor is impressive, skilled even, but it did not require education investment, just months of practice and shitloads of stamina.
"skilled labor" is a capitalist propaganda to divide the workers. I'm a programmer and I learned on the job, I have no formal education in the field. Does it mean it's unskilled?
The point is that it's not a good word for what it's describing. "Trained Labor" would be fine, but companies make very poor choices when they decide guys like this don't have specific tradable skills.
The point of the caption is that both education investment and months of practice are valuable attributes but people often use the term "unskilled labor", both colloquially and academically, to imply that workers in those fields are essentially interchangeable and immediately replaceable which is simply not true.

There is, but it involves machines, which cost a lot more than what that guy is being paid.

I usually see this captioned something along the lines of "unskilled labor is a myth" and I agree

Humans tend to get pretty damn close to optimal at anything they're doing day in day out.
